During the transfer window it’s almost impossible to decipher between what’s totally fabricated nonsense and what’s credible substance.

Personally I look for two signals when considering if United really are interested in a player or not. 1) the club officially approach/bid for a player and 2) as is the case with the Ezequiel Garay rumour, enough smoke!

Are you looking for a great Transfer Window app for your handheld? I’ve just downloaded ‘Transfer Window‘ and highly recommend it.

With the news that Schalke CEO, Clemens Tonnies, has stressed that the Bundesliga side will not deny Julian Draxler a transfer to a club like Real Madrid or Chelsea if the opportunity arises it’s time David Moyes was coerced into making contact with the tremendously talented young German.

The U19 International recently admitted that it would be hard to reject one of Europe’s superpowers if they were to make a move for him and Tonnies has insisted that S04 are ready to open talks if a good offer comes in.

Everton have reportedly rejected a bid from Manchester United for full-back Leighton Baines and insist the England international is not for sale at any price.

Questions have been raised over whether new United manager David Moyes will raid his former club of its brightest talents, with Baines and central midfielder Marouane Fellaini both linked with reuniting with Moyes at Old Trafford.

However, the Merseyside outfit are adamant they will not allow one of their prize assets to leave and are not prepared to negotiate with the Premier League champions.

A product of The White Lady’s youth system, Claudio Marchisio is to Juventus what Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs are to Manchester United.

A one-club-man since his teens (bar a season on loan), Marchisio has admitted to being “proud” at reports linking him with United.

Although he clearly states that “I have not heard from anyone at Manchester United” the tone of his interview with Gazzetta dello Sport indicates the idea of such a move would be one he would be very keen on.
